It should work just fine. It will only blow as hard as the PSI you have but that is true with any nozzle.

No bigger than the tank is it will probably work but it will run all the time. Also depends on the cfm (cubic feet per minute) but with 6 gallon of air reserved when the level drops on the air tank size of 6 gallon the compressor will kick on so heavey duty cleaning/blowing will run out of air in the tank pretty quickly. also depends on how high you have the copressor line side set to, 120 PSI is probably maximum it will run out of air pretty quickly and constant blowing will not be able to substain itself very long.

It will do it, but the compressor will just run a lot more to replenish the air if you have of lot cleaning to do with it.

I have a 6 gallon and a 24 gallon. The 6 does not hold enough air to clean much of anything. The blower nozzle is great though.

Yes a bow gun will operate well with a small compressor; you will just not be able to use it continuously for minutes at a time.

you need to get a bigger compressor. To run those type of air tools I would suggest at least 33 gal for constant pressure.

Not sure if it would produce enough air because I have never used a airbrush and do not know what it requires. But have used it on a nail gun and if used a long time with out delay I would let it catch up until it turned off. You need to look at the cubic air per second in the specifics.

Yes. I have used to air up lawn mower tires, auto tires and even forklift tires. You may have to let it catch up but it is a good little compressor. I am glad I purchased it.

This unit is strictly a 12 volt DC powered compressor. If you wish to use this on house current, you will need to use a 12 volt DC power supply which could handle the required amperage. I would suggest a small car or lawn mower battery of at least 100 ampere capacity. Put a trickle charger on it and you would good to go. Most of these battery powered compressors will draw considerable current during operation and they will get hot so be sure to take care when operating and keep the compressor clear of any combustible items.

You probably mean the air consumption (cfm), as even a small compressor can put out 90 psi. Mine is mid-size (26-gallon) but for anything but a small job I'd want one with more constant output. The sander runs about 1-2 minutes before the compressor needs to catch up.If you're polishing a car, I recommend getting an electric polisher, and like the previous reviewer, I've had good results with the Porter-Cable model. Don't know if the air-powered IR accepts polishing discs. If you're at all doubtful about the output of your compressor, you should consider going electric for polishing.

If your hoses arnt rated for the max compressor PSI then you will blow a hose and hurt someone. You must use a open end air chuck.

I don't believe that this compressor can drive air tools of that type. The only air tools that I've used with this unit is smaller paint spraying guns, inflating tires and multiple sizes of air nail guns. That's a good question and I would suggest going to the Bositich web site and sending that question to the Customer Service / Tech Help via the Contacts link. This is a really good compressor, it's fast, designed very well and it's not as loud as prior units that I use to own.

I use it with a nail gun and it works fine. The compressor starts up to replenish air quite often but it is really quiet. I like it.

A compressor with at least a 2 gallon capacity is recommended, but 4 gallons and above is better. You don't need to sustain the power blast for 3-4 minutes nonstop, you can clean several feet, let the compressor rebuild pressure, then continue cleaning.

"what kinda of compressor should i use for these?" Hi, I found a very nice compressor... V-Power 21 gallons and 2.5HP and max at 125psi.... It is just enough to give intermittent blasts on the impact wrench. I might add an extra storage tank to possibly kick it up to 30-ish gallons? The perfect world is 30 gal. and with 5HP might be the better spec. Hope this helps.

Lisa, a two or 3 gallon pancake compressor will suit this gun fine. I'm currently using a 27 gallon,(my only compressor I own) and it's complete overkill. This gun doesn't use much air at all. Good like with your purchase David

I did not know, so I went and checked. When all connected and plugged in, I turned on the main power to the blower unit. There was air coming out of the spray nozzle at a full flow, without touching the trigger.

Absolutely safe, I have two pc's at my home that I keep clean with it. It is very powerful and you will be surprised at how effective it is. No more buying compressed air cans!!

It will be much faster than most compressors, short of running something with a large 30gallon tank that is already charged and ready to go. It is about the best you will get in something fairly portable.

Short answer: I really don't know and I have never used it. I am thinking probably NOT. I have a large lawn and purchased the BV-006 Blower Vacuum Leaf Collection SYstem separately. It's a large bag that fits into a garbage can and has attached hose. This allows us to mulch more leaves faster. The original bag that comes with the blower/vac/mulcher is way to small to be of much use to me. Even with this mulcher I bag 60 large bags of leaves. If you are interested in this larger bag system it really requires two people to operate. One to do vacuum/mulching and one to hold on to the garbage can/bag. Nothing seems to be the "perfect" fix. SOrry not of more help. Short answer: I really don't know and I have never used it. I am thinking probably NOT.

Do you have any of the attachments on the nozzle? With zero attachments the force isn't going to be crazy. The 'leak' is design. Mine will blow nearly anything off whatever table/surface I am cleaning and at least 5x more powerful than a store bought duster can. It's not going to blow like my gas powered leaf blower, however.
